You seem to be implying that, if XX is a wolf, the wolves WILL NOT seer hunt, so as to avoid "resolving the issue". How is that bad?
There's absolutely no reason to believe the wolves will not look for the seer as long as XX is alive. Once another seer comes out, or dies, we will then be in a position to lynch XX (or the other claimant, if appropriate). This WILL get resolved. Maybe not tonight, but before must lynch.
IMO, lynching XX is the lazy decision. There's no downside to leaving him alive, and a small chance at downside for killing him. Frankly, I don't understand the resistance.

M1ke's claim is that he is an evil angel - HUGE downside to leaving him alive.

I still don't understand why the wolves wouldn't kill one of his peeks, though. It makes zero sense to me.

BECAUSE THAT CONFIRMS XX, A LITTLE BIT?

Shouldn't 'seer' XXS be trying to get the wolf lynched, and not following his peek, who could have a crappy read? Even if XXS is a blocked seer, he should want wolves lynched, not people who may or may not be wolves. He should be building a case against m1ke, not just blindly following a read, because "he looked wolfy today and my peek is voting him"
I'm not sure what a deputy is, do you mean another seer? I would think that Monk would have listed that in his OP.

If you're a seer, and you know nobody believes you, do you
a) Tilt at windmills
b) Try something productive
Deputy is a seer that only gets full powers when the original seer dies. FWIW, eskimo didn't put anything in the OP about a wolf angel, and you seem to have no problem believing that.

Thanks for playing the game. You do realize you can make your point without being an *******, right?

So killing an utr player who made a couple of seerish posts means what then? No one was talking about Joe Butch at all, and Joe Butch wasn't doing much talking, so you're saying it wasn't a seer hunt?

I think he is tilting at windmills by following his 'peek'. What exactly has he done that's been productive since he came out?
I'll restate what I told Luckay when Manupod was on the block. If the guy is too ****ing lazy to save himself, why should he be saved?

He also didn't mention that there was an evil roleblocker, but you have no problem believing that.
Now that we're done with the snippy remarks, how about you look at the way M1ke's peek came out, vs the way XXS came out and tell me again why we need to believe XXS at all here?
I'll go one better, it was posted in the OP that some players have revival powers (and we saw that someone already died with a revival power). How about we lynch XXS today? If he's the seer, I look like an ass, we know where we stand, we lynch m1ke tomorrow and someone has the option of using a 1 time revive on him.
But keeping someone alive on a 1% chance they could be seer, while the wolves make what look like seer hunting NKs, hoping that the wolves will eventually resolve it for us, is stupid.
How many games have people gotten away with claiming seer, then claiming to be roleblocked, so the village left them alive until we got into enough of a ****ed up position that we had to resolve it? Let's resolve it now.

Re: STREETFIGHTER!! The Long Game!
If XX IS the seer, and the wolves want to kill UTRs hoping we lynch XX, that's a plus for the village. If he's a wolf and the wolves kill UTRs hoping not to hit the seer to save XX, that's a plus for the village. If they seer hunt and kill the seer, we lynch XX, and it's neutral for the village. If they seer hunt, miss, and the seer comes out, then, again, we carry on as usual, and it's village neutral.
I say we don't make a decision until we're forced to. That's all. As im plausible as XX being anything other than a wolf is, it's not im possible. I just don't see why we NEED TO resolve this RIGHT NOW with the 4th lynch. We have time to decide.

I've highlighted the key thing you missed here.

Re: STREETFIGHTER!! The Long Game!
zurvan,
if i were to say i used a one time peek on m1ke n1, and was told he was also a villager with a one time peek, would that change anything?

Re: STREETFIGHTER!! The Long Game!
Pretty much the only thing that will change my mind on this is somebody dying as Gen, or approaching must lynch and NEEDING to make a choice before a mistake ends the game.

Re: STREETFIGHTER!! The Long Game!
My reasoning here is pretty simple:
- We have nothing to lose leaving xx alive as a wolf
- We have something to lose killing him as seer
If he IS a wolf angel, then the only rational use for his power is to protect himself. Let him, imo. As long as a vigilante doesn't do something silly and waste a kill.

Re: STREETFIGHTER!! The Long Game!
No villager can be certain that XX is a wolf. You can be PRETTY SURE, and things look REALLY BAD for him, but you cannot be CERTAIN.
